British horror mostly follows a definite narrative structure which is usually Todorov’s five steps to a narrative structure; Equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, realisation of disruption, attempt to repair and finally a reestablishment of the equilibrium.

Like all great companies, MFB Productions started as an idea or dream that three very talented individuals had when we were teenagers. The individuals are Micah Demby, Francesca Davis, and me, Bobby Cramer. As teens, we attended Cedar Hill Collegiate High School and received

I really felt confident about the cinematography of our short film. Good cinematography can really make you pop from behind the camera. After watching our short film, I felt really proud because the film had really great depth of field and sharp focus on people. I heard nothing but compliments from the cinematography and I couldn’t have been more excited. Typically in films the director gets all the credit. However, in our short film I feel like the audience gave all of us equal credit by asking

However, the changes in technology create a dilemma for Kodak. The company’s considerations for digital imaging will change its long history with 35mm film production. Will the shift from 35mm to digital imaging affect Kodak’s successful journey? To
Loncraine's Film Production of Shakespeare's Richard III Loncraine's film brilliantly furthers Richard III's role as the diabolical genius. His use of economy and symbolism in portraying Richard gives completeness to the character that the text in some ways lacks. The short but intriguing stable scene in the film makes this clear. The first thing I noticed about the stable scene in the film was the monochromatic color scheme. As Donaldson noted, the muted browns, grays, and beiges are reminiscent
talking about film budgets can be a tricky thing due to the fact that studios often try to keep this information secret or spread wrong information by using accounting tricks to inflate or reduce the announced budgets.

It was clear that the director, actors, and designers worked extremely hard on the development of the production by paying close attention to the text and analyzing what was given to them by the playwright.

In this paper, I will bring to attention what goes into the consideration of the location where a film is made.

Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film production of the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange, is a truly unforgettable film. It is narrated by one of the most vicious characters ever put on screen, Alex DeLarge. The promotional poster for the film advertised it as "The adventures of a young man whose principle interests are rape, ultra-violence, and Beethoven" (Dirks 1). Needless to say, music plays a very important role in A Clockwork Orange. The expressive use of music in this film gives the viewer a
The French Lieutenant's Woman as Victorian Realistic Novel Although The French Lieutenant's Woman was written and cinematized in the 20th century and is based on a modern film production of a piece of 19th century fiction, the stories and plots themselves have contextual elements of a Victorian Realistic Novel. Despite the inability to accurately and directly compare it with that of true Victorian literature, many of the same elements can be found and parallel one another. Some of the elements
Baker, serves to provide a social commentary which will leave the audience deep in thought well after the curtain closes. Emporia State Universities Production of this masterpiece was a masterpiece in itself, from the stunningly genuine portrayal of the characters of Avery and Rose, to the realism found within the set, every aspect of the production was superb.

in the process of making a film, the financing largely determines the outcome of a production. With a small budget, a producer is limited to locations and assets. Good producers manage to take advantage of money saving opportunity programs while working on small budget project to help stretch out there budget.
